November 2003 Picture of the Month:

The crew of the sunken exploration steamer Jeannette landing
on Bennett Island, north of Siberia, on 29 July 1881.
Having last month issued an invitation to "consider the
pleasures of working one's way back and forth across the Atlantic"
shovelling coal, this month we offer an opportunity to imagine
the joys of pulling three heavy boats and other gear across hundreds
of miles of broken Arctic ice. The Jeannette's men really
did that! Read all about it in our presentation on the Jeannette
Arctic Expedition of 1879-1881.
